Amen. If we're gonna lose, let's lose with an upfront conservative from now on. Where is Mr Electable now? Romney / Ryan boycotted Fox News (they complained about that last night), they boycotted talk radio, they never uttered the words tea party. They never spoke to an evangelical or conservative Catholic leader or organization. They treated conservatives like they were ashamed of them. But what did it get them? When Romney criticized the apology to Egypt after the Benghazi attack, the press criticized him so he backed off and never uttered a critical word about Benghazi after that. He let the media tell him what he could or couldn't say. Other than Fox News, the media blacked out coverage and Romney let them get away with it. Romney picked a budget expert but mostly didn't let him talk about the budget. Where did they rap Harry Reid for flouting the Constitution over not passing formal budgets? They didn't. They mentioned the debt but they didn't tell Americans we're on the road to bankruptcy.

Maybe Republicans should try running a Conservative. Maybe. But the GOP is its own worst enemy.

We're fighting demographics and mass cultural indoctrination, not shifting weather patterns. Sandy didn't elect Obama. We've got to face reality and take this election to heart IMO, otherwise we're on a fast slide to oblivion. Two ideas: First off, we'd better start appealing to minority groups. Hispanics in particular. They really should be on our side - but they don't know it because they've largely been brainwashed and scared by the liberals. Grassroot campaigns to reach out to them will be slow and costly, but has to be done. They need to become part of our base. Same with blacks, although admittedly thats an even tougher nut to crack. The historical racism thing gets played against us there. We're not racists of course, hell, every conservative I know would happily vote for a conservative black/brown/yellow/whatever over a white liberal or phony-conservative (I'm looking at you, Mr. Romney). But most blacks don't know that. Second, who on this board really liked Romney? I doubt there are many. His record shows he isn't really even a conservative even though he tried to talk the talk. No passion there. From now on we should put up real conservatives who live the principles. True, that might mean we get massacred in upcoming elections, but it's better to lose that way than through inauthentic candidates. And over time we can communicate our principles and build a new base around that. All IMHO. Now I'm going to go walk the dog and try to clear my head of this disaster.
